Dynamic Arm enhancement
SONAR has a new option that can reduce CPU overhead when the Allow Arm Changes During
Playback/Record option is enabled (see Arm tracks during playback/recording).
When Allow Arm Changes During Playback/Record is enabled, SONAR must keep all hardware
input ports open so that it can dynamically arm tracks on the fly. With some drivers in WDM mode,
this can add significant overhead if there are many input devices enabled in the Audio Options
dialog (Options > Audio > Drivers).
The new Only For Inputs In Project option instructs SONAR to only open hardware input ports that
are currently active in the project (i.e. assigned to a track).
To only open active hardware input ports
1. On the Transport menu, click Record Options to open the Record Options dialog.
